- This video shows how to wrap a rectangular knitting loom for a Kitchner Cast-on, used to make toe-up socks on a knitting loom.
It is only how to wrap the loom, there are other resources that teach the next steps. I like the “Vanilla Socks” videos by The Lopsided Crafter.

When loom knitting socks, I greatly struggled with transferring the sock off the loom and into knitting needles in order to graft the toe closed.
The kitchner cast-on for the knitting loom is a needle-free way of closing the toe, but all the tutorials I found were using a round knitting loom and I wasn’t able to visualize how to translate them to a rectangular like I’m. Now that I have figured out how to wrap my loom for the Kitchener cast-on, I find it much easier than any other method of closing the toe than I’ve tried.
The loom I use is a fine gauge Simplicity adjustable sock loom, available on Amazon for about $15 (USA).
The yarn color way is Jellybeans.

Just wanted to tell you I pray for you almost daily. I purchased a small leather notebook (several actually) but I use the leather one with the tree on the spine and across the top, wild flowers on the bottom with a bunny on the front and white fox on the back. It is lovely and wearing well. I keep my mileage for work in it. So, thin of you often and pray for you too. Enjoy all your videos.
Thank you, Sharon! I truly appreciate the prayers and am so glad the TN is working well after all these years. I hope you are doing well. ✝️❤️
Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
What a FANTASTIC tutorial!!!!! Thank you for the Shout out!!!!
I grow up in healy and Denali park. Thanks for this video.

thank you michelle. what a wonderfully put together video. i’m new to ‘looms’ but i think i’m getting. the hang of it. such a doll. keep doing what you do
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this!!! I just watched the Lobsided Crafter video and tried to translate it to my rectangle loom and could not figure it out. Diagonal was the key! Thanks again!
Glad to help!
Or you can simply use the center peg of the 5 side pegs as the sides of the sock instead of worrying with corners. You can also tape your tail to the loom so you can have both hands free, also take a plastic click ink pen and remove the longest tube of the pen, thread your yarn down through the tube and use it to quickly and accurately wrap your pegs quickly..
I find it easier to do the short rows for the toe and heel with the loom set up as I have shown in the video. This is what works best for me.
Thank you SO MUCH!
I’m glad this is helpful for you!
I have that loom but I'm trying to do toe socks, I just can't get it. Can you do a how to for toe socks?
Do you mean socks with individual toes 🦶or knitting a normal sock 🧦by knitting the toe of the sock first (a toe-up sock)?
I don’t know how to knit a sock with individual toes.
But, for a normal sock with the toe knit first, cast on like in this video, then go to the links in the description for the Vanilla sock and follow those instructions.
I am sorry, but I personally don’t have the time to make a video of how to loom knit an entire sock. 😞
Ones with individual toes. I'm following another video but once I start the flat stitches the work gets so tight I can't continue. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
@@Sakura_Wulf I’ve had the flat knit get too tight also, so I suggest not using a flat knit. Try a u-knit and keep it a little looser than you normally would. That is what I have to do with all my socks now. The flat knit is the tightest off all the loom knit stitches.
I hope this helps.
